“What’s Blocking Your Intuition?”
THE INTUITIVE VOICE PODCAST | EPISODE 3
Never Miss An Episode
Why You Can’t Hear Your Intuition Sometimes
In this episode of The Intuitive Voice, Martha Arnett, MSW, and Angela Huebner, LMFT, PhD, explore one of the most important and relatable questions in intuitive development: what gets in the way of hearing, trusting, and following your intuition?
Together, they unpack the very human “blocks” that can cloud the intuitive channel, from lack of sleep, poor nourishment, pain, and emotional overwhelm to overthinking, distraction, social conditioning, and unresolved trauma. Martha and Angela offer a compassionate reframing: these blocks do not mean something is wrong with you. They are often protective strategies, patterns, or parts of the self that developed for a reason and once served a purpose.
The conversation also explores how ritual, intention, body awareness, and emotional honesty can help clear the channel and reconnect you to your inner knowing. Through stories about construction stress, therapy rituals, airport presence, and the constant pull of the phone, Martha and Angela highlight how intuition becomes easier to access when we slow down, listen inward, and create space for connection.
The episode closes with a practical invitation to listen to what your body is asking for with less “should” and more trust.
